  • Server upgrade

    I finally have some time today to upgrade my web server from the Pi 4 to Pi 5. I was using the SanDisk 128GB SD card for my Pi 4 server, it was really stable and did not fail for really long time. I was thinking should I continue to use the same SD card or upgrade to a SSD for my Pi 5. Recently there are a lot of sales going on, so I decided to try using a SSD to improve the speed and the long term stability. The setup was really quick and I really need to shout out to the updraftplus plugin for WordPress. It helped me a lot on the backup and restore for this blog. Everyone should give it a try if you wanna have a simple and easy backup/restore solution for your WordPress site!

    Finally it’s reached in SG.

    Finally the preorder is up. Ordered one 4GB and one 8GB. Should I upgrade my Pi 4 server to Pi 5? 🤔

  • Sony Xperia 1V

    Very impressive image sensor. Did not expect a RAW file from a phone camera to bring back so much details.

  • UTM on M1 Mac

    Finally my Parallels subscription ended yesterday. It is a really good virtualisation software on ARM Mac, but also it comes with a really high price tag. Base on my use case, I really dont see the needs of it, some open source alternative is good enough. UTM has come a long way and its totally free! Time to switch to UTM and save some $$. 🙂
